    Have you tried restarting the cPanel service? #systemctl restart cpanel
    If restarting the cpanel service does not help then share the output of the below commands #systemctl status firewalld #csf -s

    As usual, good advice from @kodeslogic - I'd add that a quick check of the ports themselves on the server would tell you if the service is listening properly: netstat -lpn | grep 208
    which should give you a few lines of output indicating a service is listening on all the cPanel ports. If the service seems to be running normally, a telnet test to the cPanel and WHM ports from your specific location would be helpful to see if the ports themselves are working.

    Hello, thank you for your reply. Here is a screen of the output of both commands. I turned off the firewall, connection still refused.

    Hello, thank you for your reply! Here is a screenshot of the output Shouldn't these ports be connected to the ip address of the server instead of 0.0.0.0 ?

    0.0.0.0 means "all IPv4 addresses on the local machine".

    This problem has been solved. Somehow the IP address for the hostname was changed at the hosting provider a long time ago to an unknown ip address. And it always worked until a few days ago it randomly stopped working.
